Ibrahim Mahama's first institutional solo show in Central Africa runs until 17 April 2022 at the White Cube in Lusanga, where his signature jute cocoa bags will envelop the gallery building. This exhibition emerges within land reclaimed by the Congolese plantation workers' art league (CATPC) from a former colonial palm oil plantation. Larry Achiampong presents his largest UK solo exhibition at Turner Contemporary in Margate from 12 March to 19 June 2022, featuring the newly commissioned film Wayfinder alongside works from his Relic Traveller series and selected JMW Turner pieces. A conversation on sound and resistance with Gascia Ouzounian and Mhamad Safa occurs at The Showroom in London on 8 March 2022 as part of Haig Aivazian's exhibition. The Wellcome Collection in London hosts Rooted Beings from 24 March to 29 August 2022, curated by Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz and Emily Sargent, examining plant behavior with new commissions and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew archives. Dance Reflections, a festival supported by Van Cleef & Arpels, takes place across Sadler’s Wells, Royal Opera House, and Tate Modern in London from 9 to 23 March 2022, featuring works by Lucinda Childs, Trisha Brown, and others. Anne Le Troter's exhibition at Bétonsalon in Paris continues until 23 April 2022, creating sound installations from the Marc Vaux photographic archive at the Pompidou Centre's Kandinsky Library.
